Chapter 107 The Next Team

As one of the most attractive players in the market, Zhang Chen has received countless invitations, and rumors with almost all teams are not groundless.

Of course, all the words are too exaggerated, and some teams still don't care about him.

For example, the Pacers who were defeated in the Eastern Conference Finals, and the Lakers who were killed in the Finals, it is impossible to find him. Whether it is salary space, staffing, or player feelings, they are not allowed to do so.

Now Zhang Chen does not dare to go out easily. He is also secretly glad that the place where he lives has not been exposed. It is not because of other reasons. He is afraid of meeting Heat fans. There is no news of his contract renewal with the Heat. stay.

It is conceivable that if he chooses to leave, so many fans who like him don't know how they will react. From love to hatred, it is inevitable to scold traitors, so he does not appear in public at all now.

Fortunately, the two veterans of the team, Mourning and Tim Hardaway, were both recruited to the US National Men's Basketball Team. During the training camp for the Sydney Olympics, otherwise the team would be quite embarrassing for them to be lobbyists. Even so, he received text messages from some of his teammates.

In fact, he was also invited to the beautiful men's basketball team known as the "Dream Four Team", but due to his personal feelings, he chose to refuse.

This is also good, you can deal with the next contract with peace of mind.

Among the Eastern Conference teams, the 76ers and the Knicks are actually very interested in him, but these two also have no salary space. The head coach of the 76ers also publicly expressed his appreciation for him, saying Zhang If Chen is willing to partner with Iverson, it will be the most terrifying backcourt combination in the entire league. It is necessary to catch whoever is killed. Knicks owner James Dolan even expressed that he is willing to think of various ways to recruit him. into the team.

But the 76ers only admired him from the head coach, and the team did not come up with a feasible solution. The Knicks were the team that took over the grievances with the Heat. The two teams meet again in the playoffs, but it is impossible to leave the Heat and go there.

There are five teams in the Eastern Conference that really have space to sign him. McGrady is unwilling to stay with the Toronto Raptors. They intend to sign Zhang Chen and form a backcourt duo with Carter.

The Orlando Magic hope to sign Zhang Chen, McGrady, and Grant Hill at the same time, and then sign Tim Duncan to form the Big Three and directly become a super team in the league.

After the Detroit Pistons gave up Grant Hill, they also hope that Zhang Chen will come over and form a new backcourt "double gun" with Stackhouse.

The Atlanta Hawks, which fired the undisciplined Ryder, also hoped to sign Zhang Chen to pair with Dikembe Mutombo and replicate his success with the Heat.

The Chicago Bulls also want to sign Zhang Chen to partner with Brand. They also have enough salary space. In that case, they can also sign some practical players to assist the two in the free market, and maybe they can restore the dynasty immediately. Glory.

In the west, the Los Angeles Clippers have the most salary space, but this team is so poor that they want to sign Zhang Chen but feel that they can't pay much.

In addition, the Golden State Warriors also have a way to directly sign Zhang Chen.

Generally speaking, the teams in the east are more enthusiastic about Zhang Chen, and there are many rich bosses in the west, but most of the team's salary space is not enough.

How should I put it, as far as Zhang Chen's personal wishes are concerned, he still wants to go to a big city and a team that has ideas about the championship.

But things can't be so smooth, the road is to go step by step, choose the most suitable one, and then rely on strength to turn the team into a strong contender for the championship.

Toronto is already in Canada, and it feels a bit troublesome.

On the Hawks side, the famous coach Lenny Wilkens has left, and there seems to be some disharmony in the team.

He thought about the Magic, Pistons and Bulls seriously, and he also went to the field for field inspections, and was warmly welcomed by the teams.

Orlando is a small city, but if they can get Tim Duncan, it doesn't matter if the city is small, but according to his memory, Duncan should have renewed his contract with the Spurs.

Both the Pistons and the Bulls were once brilliant teams, and they would definitely be compared with famous superstars when they went there. However, his goal was to be the championship, so he didn't mind the pressure.

Anyway, no matter where you go, the newcomers are the core of the team, which is pretty much the same.

Zhang Chen is not in a hurry. Although there are many free agents, a player of his level is not worried that no team will give him a maximum salary. He just needs to choose slowly.

The afterglow of the sun scattered on the dark glass curtain wall, turning into a dazzling halo.

There are only two people in the huge office.

"All the choices are correct. It feels amazing now. It's all over at last. I can deal with your affairs with peace of mind."

"It's just luck, just do what I say on my side, don't get too tired."

"It's just that I didn't pay too much attention to what you said, and I didn't understand it well. I was blamed by the people at Nike." Zhang Xiaomeng blamed himself.

Zhang Chen was a little unhappy, and said half-truthfully, "They dare to accuse you and don't want to cooperate anymore, right? I'm very hot right now."

Zhang Xiaomeng shook his head and said: "It's not the class, I think it's my problem. I'm your agent, but I didn't help you find the most suitable place for you to develop. They are right. A talented player like you should Go to the most dazzling places... Which one do you like that is willing to sign a maximum salary contract with you now?"

"Let's take a look, anyway, there's plenty of time." Zhang Chen stretched out on the sofa, these days he trained alone, and came to Zhang Xiaomeng's side after the training.

"If you have a decision, you should tell me earlier, so that our dream investment company can go there earlier."

"Follow what I did in the past. If you want to expand the company's influence and complete all departments, you should go to the most prosperous place in the United States."

"If we're not in the same place, then it's not hard for us to see each other." Zhang Xiaomeng hesitated.

"Haha, now that the traffic is so developed, it's difficult to meet each other. I don't play games all year round. I'll come here to help you during the offseason. Besides, I won't play basketball for the rest of my life. This company is what we will live in from now on. ensure."

Zhang Xiaomeng's face turned red inexplicably, Zhang Chen realized that what he said was somewhat ambiguous

She said seriously: "Actually, I have also seriously considered the company's development. To improve the company's image, I think it is a good proof of strength to buy the dream investment company's own office building in a prosperous city."

"Has our company developed to the point where we can buy office buildings in prosperous areas?" Zhang Chen was surprised. He only knew that the company was running well, but he didn't expect to make so much money.

"You don't check the company's performance when you have time now, you are the big boss, okay? We made a lot of money in this European Cup. It must be too burdensome to take out the money to buy an office building at one time. We can pay in installments , Now the investment in all aspects is running well, there should be no problem."

"You can figure it out, I absolutely believe in you."

"Oops." Zhang Xiaomeng exclaimed suddenly, "I almost forgot what I wanted to tell you. Nike wants to re-sign a long-term contract with you to produce exclusive sneakers for you. How about [-] million dollars in ten years? .”

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Xiaomeng would be surprised, Zhang Chen couldn't help laughing.

"It's okay to change the contract and produce exclusive sneakers. The name of the sneakers should be called Dream, but I don't want [-] million in ten years. I want Dream Investment Company to obtain the agency rights of this sneaker in Asia, at least East Asia. The bottom line is China. You Talk to them slowly, if they don't want to let them wait for a year, then they will know my value."

Zhang Xiaomeng clapped his hands, "This is a good idea. I think you are really suitable for running the company. I have evaluated the Chinese market and it has great potential. Our dream investment company will soon find a suitable time to enter."

"I'm only suitable for playing basketball." Zhang Chen knew that he was not a business genius, but just an ordinary person with a normal IQ level who knew some advanced information.

The next day, Zhang Xiaomeng called Zhang Chen who was in training, "The Warriors want to ask us to meet, right here, and their people have already arrived in Miami."

Zhang Chen was a little strange, the Warriors had contacted him before, so why did they come here again.

The meeting place was a business club, arranged by Zhang Xiaomeng, where Dream Investment Company often talks business with people.

When Zhang Chen arrived, the other party had already arrived.

An elegant-looking old man wearing glasses held out his hand to him, "Zhang, I'm honored, I'm Chris Cohan."

Seeing that Zhang Chen was a little confused, Zhang Xiaomeng quickly introduced that this is the boss of the Golden State Warriors. She only found out after meeting him that the other boss came over in person.

The Warriors didn't show such sincerity in the last contact, so Zhang Chen was also a little strange.

But soon he also understood what the other party thought, "Zhang, I'm your fan. The home of the Warriors is next to San Francisco. There are many people like me who are your fans. I made up my mind."

"The Warriors is a team with a glorious history. It has won three championships and has had very good players. But it has been five years since I bought the team and I have not made a playoff game. I want to see what the stage of the playoffs looks like, I know you have such ability..."

"You are such an excellent player, you should get a higher salary than ordinary players. As long as you agree, the team will make you the first core and apply for a higher maximum salary from the league for you."

Chris Cohan put forward his conditions straight to the point, and Zhang Chen understood that the opponent might have taken a fancy to his influence among Chinese fans.

The Golden State Warriors, maybe the West is also a good choice.
